I woudn't buy any of these (pre-Crisis for me, please), but for those who want them I hope they get produced. The variations on the big guns seem like no-brainers to me, and I suspect many of the ones listed will be made at some point.

You know, everyone laments the 90s era of comics, but no decade that could give us Young Justice, Jack Knight, Connor Hawke and the Matthew Tyler Hourman can be totally bad. DC was really producing a lot of new characters, and it's a shame that they don't take those kinds of chances anymore.

The 40somethings have the disposable income, so they get what they want from Hal on down.

I just hope that people from my generation of comic readers get into writing them soon and we can get some of those characters back in action. I'd love a Kyle book to go with my Hal book. Or even Connor to be the GA backup.

yeah, Fly and I were talking about this before, how the 90's characters needed better representation in Mattel's lines. Fly did a great job putting together the pictoral of so many of the characters from that era.

Teen Titans was going strong. The JLI morphed and faded to be replaced by the Morrison JLA. AzBats. Wally West. Kyle Rayner. Conner Hawk. Superboy. Impulse. Hourman Android. Guy Gardner Warrior as the Vuldarian half breed. Was LEGION active during this decade? I liked them too.

While most of these characters are just shameful, you do have a point and there are quite a few of these I want myself.

Jack Knight needs to be made, there is no question about that. His was the only series from that entire era that was worth a damn.

Now, I agree that Starman kicked all kinds of ass, and might be the best series ever. But the "only good series"?

There were other runs that had some great, imaginative storytelling. Aztek was excellent, albeit short. I thought Hourman had some great ideas. JLA was consistently entertaining, as was Hitman. Young Justice and Stars & STRIPE came at the end of the 90s. Animal Man. Doom Patrol. And of course, Vertigo launched and gave us Sandman, Sandman Mystery Theater and Preacher. You're telling me that all of those were terrible?

Shameful is throwing away half these characters to get the old ones back.

Agreed. Comics are being written by men old before their time, and I'm a bit sick of the entrenched conservatism masquerading as nostalgia that passes for superhero comics these days. I actually thought Marvel's Ultimate line was a pretty elegant solution before I, um, actually read the Ultimate books (seriously, Ultimates? Lousy book, I don't care what the fanboys say). I still think something like that could work for DC, though - one line could satisfy the old fanboys, and the other could appease people who want new ideas and change.

Ya know, I quit reading comics completely in the 90s, mainly because of how DC #()#%( everything up. However I would be inclined to purchase several of these. However, absolutely NO PARALLAX. Don't do it. Don't talk about it, it's bad enough it's still referenced in GL. I'd rather we all forget that completely stupid decision that along with GA getting offed, drove me out of comics.

Dude, Parallax is why I read comics! I've loved GL ever since. I loved following Kyle, I loved Hal's story from ET, to Final Night, to his time as the Spectre, and back into being Green Lantern.

The only problem I have with the current GL stuff is that Kyle has been shaving and washing his hands, while Hal gets to do all the rainbow lantern stuff.

As for good books during the 90s era? All the ones that Superfly named, plus Chronos and Chase are like Aztek, short, but real gems. Peter David's run on Aquaman, The Paradise Lost Mini, Reign of the Supermen, Resurrection man (particularly issue 11, if you're going to try and knock that book), the No Man's Land crossover, the Walter West crossover, that decade had a wealth of good material.

Now since then with Didio? I feel like I'm pulling at straws to find stuff I l ike. The new Animal Man books looks promising. I loved Tales of the Unexpected (both Crispus Spectre and the Doc 13 backup), All-Star Superman. I'm sure there are others, but not quite the same impact as before. I'd say my favorite era lasted until about 02/03 and then the last five years have been a big turnoff.

Great calls on those books - Resurrection Man, Chase, Chronos, the entire run of Waid Flash...lots of good stuff there. And Parallax? Despite which side of the fence you were on back then, Johns has tied it all together nicely now, and Kyle brought a load of new fans to GL. I wish Kyle would go back to a regular book too.
